Working Within the Properties List
To display the Properties list:
s
Click
View > Properties
or
View > Objects and Properties
.
The Name column shows the name of the property. The Baseline and Actual columns
display the values for the properties. Values in the Baseline column represent the
properties from the original recording of the Object Properties verification point.
Values in the Actual column represent the state of the properties in the latest
played-back version. By default, if the Baseline and Actual column values differ, both
columns are displayed.
Use the
View
commands to control which columns appear in the Properties list.
If a property is red, it has different values in the Baseline and the Actual files. If a
property is blue, it exists in the Baseline file but not in the Actual file. If a value cell is
blank, the property has an empty value.
